Compressional Growth Strata Of Late Oligocene To Miocene Age In The Loncopué And Catan-Lil Intermontane Basins, Neuquén Province, Argentina (37°- 40° S)

In the Neuquén province of Argentina (37° - 40° S), several Andean intermontane basins contain Oligocene<br>to Miocene continental strata. Despite claims that these basins developed as rifts (Jordan et al., 2001; Burns et<br>al., in press), we have good evidence that two basins developed in a compressional setting.
